That was not a general Direct. Nintendo hasn't done any sort of first party Direct for summer yet.Why are we expecting a direct? There was literally one last week. There's no way a full direct is coming until September.
go home everyone, see your families
Or play some games
Yes, but why have one in the middle of July when September is just around the corner?That was not a general Direct. Nintendo hasn't done any sort of first party Direct for summer yet.
why do one in the middle of September when November is right around the corner?Yes, but why have one in the middle of July when September is just around the corner?
Because they always have one in September, not in July. Unless it's focused on a single game, like Splatoon 3. I can see that happening.why do one in the middle of September when November is right around the corner?
Why release BOTW2 in 2023 when 2029 is right around the corner?why do one in the middle of September when November is right around the corner?
Well this is my prediction on what’s gonna happen.Because they always have one in September, not in July. Unless it's focused on a single game, like Splatoon 3. I can see that happening.
Yes, but why would you have a third-party direct that's almost half an hour long and then a general direct (with third party games in it) a couple of weeks later. The direct we had was meaty, too. It had Persona, it had Mario+Rabbids, it had a bunch of big hitters. I don't think we'll see much more until the Summers overThat was not a general Direct.

The wait for botw2 has hit me in waves. They released that initial trailer. I watched so many predictions and breakdown videos. I use to watch them every week then it was just silent forever and I stopped looking for news on it. Then they gave us that 1 minute clip in Feb and now I'm straight morbinOkay, but who is ready for another watching of Game Awards in December to think Nintendo will be there or BOTW2? I can't believe when we thought that BOTW2 will be there in 2019. 2019
Switch era Directs have consistently been in a Spring/Summer/Fall cycle, and we have yet to have the summer one.Yes, but why have one in the middle of July when September is just around the corner?
I'd flip the question on it's head. Why make such a meaty Partner Showcase when that could have been packaged into a standard general Direct? The only two reasons I can think of are that they're either skipping the summer Direct entirely (which I do not buy, as there doesn't really seem to be a good strategic reason for doing so, especially with a bunch of announcements that should be happening imminently (Mario Kart tracks, Switch Sports update, Splatoon 3 testfire, etc.)) or because there's something unusual, like a hardware announcement, that's going to take a bunch of extra time in their presentation that would normally have been occupied by third party announcements.Yes, but why would you have a third-party direct that's almost half an hour long and then a general direct (with third party games in it) a couple of weeks later.

We are proud to announce the cancellation of the sequel to the legend of zelda: breath of the wild. Peace out bitches.Can't wait for Aonuma giving us the middlefinger when he shows up the next time. I bet for good measure he will uses both of them and then follows it up with an announcement of cancelling the Zelda franchise.
Wait you're actually right, I can't find the OLED trailer on the main Nintendo channel. Oh my.GUYS. Nintendo Switch OLED trailer on Nintendo's channel went private. I swear it was normally public like 2 days ago. IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING.

YesThat's weird, do they want to phase the thing out already...?
they did this with the Lite reveal at some point tooThat's weird, do they want to phase the thing out already...?
They don't want any confusion. They've done the same with past directs before they announced a new one.That's weird, do they want to phase the thing out already...?
No, they set videos to private when they’re about to release a new video for something that COULD be mistaken as the previous video, to make sure consumers are watching the newest, and therefore most up-to-date video. So for example if there was a Direct on Smarch 10th 2021, and there’s another Direct on Smarch 11th 2022, they’ll private the Smarch 10th video to make sure people are watching the Smarch 11th video and not the year-old one by mistake.That's weird, do they want to phase the thing out already...?
No they haven’t?They don't want any confusion. They've done the same with past directs before they announced a new one.
yes they have, but temporarilyNo they haven’t?
Yes they have. They’ll unprivate it after a while when in-the-moment confusion won’t be an issue. But in-the-moment they want all eyes on the latest Direct.No they haven’t?
